Robert J. “Bob”
Chase of Waukesha was reunited with his loving wife Alma “Jane” on
Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013, at his home at the age of 87. He was born in
Pewaukee on Aug. 15, 1925, the son of Thomas and Agnes (nee Callaghan)
Chase.

Bob was a 1943
graduate of Waukesha High School. He proudly served his country in the
U.S. Navy from 1943 until 1946 and was a 50-year member of the American
Legion D.J. Martin Post #8. He was united in marriage to Alma “Jane”
O’Donnell on July 31, 1950; she preceded him in death June 5, 2009. Bob
was a truck driver for Chase Oil Co. for many years. He was a devout
Catholic and a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, where he served as
an usher and was a member of the Holy Name Society. Bob enjoyed playing
sheepshead and cribbage and enjoyed watching sports, but most of all,
his greatest joy was his family.

He will be greatly
missed by his son, Peter (Marcia) Chase of Johnson Creek; his
grandchildren, Robert Chase and Kristi Chase; and two
great-grandchildren. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other
relatives and friends.

In addition to his
wife and his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers and
sisters, Thomas Chase, Alice Hall, Francis Chase and Bernice Harrington.

at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 822 N. East Ave., Waukesha. The Rev. Bill
